Over the winter break I drove up to Lake Arrowhead with my family. I took a lot of pictures in the snow, since I don't get to see it often as I'd like. Rarer were the pictures I took of the buildings in the town, but this one struck me as very quaint, charming, and visually interesting.
The light interacts with both the snow and the structures in an almost playful manner. It highlights parts of the snow to make it nearly blinding, and then casts it into the deep shadow of the roof and eaves. It acknowledges the reflections of the pines in the window, but at this time of day, that isn't the focus - like a secret for astute viewers. The contrasts in the picture complement the almost vintage feel of the architecture.
